In John 17, we read a prayer that Jesus spoke in the presence of his disciples the night before he was crucified. This prayer reveals God’s love and acceptance for Jesus, for his disciples, and ultimately for all future believers.
The Father and Son identify this as their moment to glorify each other. They love one another and desire to make much of one another for all the world to see. Contrary to the common experience of human glorification of one another, the mutual honouring of the Father and Son isn’t self-centred. Those who come to God through Jesus Christ are called to participate in this love. And the result is the glorification of the Father, the Son, and all who believe in Jesus.
